Step 1: Identify The Source

Smells in the home typically are connected to a physical source...it's not just in the air!

Ask Yourself:

Is the odor located in one area/room in the home?

Is an item in the home the source or is the odor attached to all surfaces?

Can I remove the source or does it need to be treated on-site?

Step 2: Type Of Odor

The type of odor will change how you eliminate it!

Smoke:

-Easily on fabric surfaces and can attach to others if exposed for a long time

-Removal of impacted surfaces may be necessary

-Vinegar wash helps to remove the odor on hard surfaces

Mold/Mildew:

-Very treatable after you eliminate the source

-Cleaning products that kill bacteria are best

-Surfaces heavily impacted by mold may need repainting

Other Soiled

(Pets, Waste, Food):

-Washing fabrics and scrubbing hard surfaces

-Remove heavily soiled items

-Stall air will need to be treated
